About Matthew

My name is Matthew and I'm 30, I've lived in Galway all my life. Animals are my life, especially dogs and I have always been around them and through that have a great knowledge base on dogs behaviour and needs both physical and mental. From separation anxiety to nervous bladders, over abundance of energy to couch potatoes I can cater to all types of doggo! Even the cranky ones 😂🙈I also have a love for the outdoors, so I'm always out exploring with my own pack Pixie, Willow, Loki and Nero. I walk/sit dogs because let’s face who doesn’t like hanging out with dogs all day 😂 It’s the worlds best job. I’m fairly experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and have quite a bit of walled in land for a bit of run time that all my doggos seem to enjoy after a good walk! I also offer a home boarding service where your dog becomes part of the family or if it suits better house calls can be arranged! I live on an old farm with over 90 acres of secure woodland, meadows and even a river for the doggos to enjoy and in the evenings they’d be enjoying Netflix’s finest chilling on the couch.I have 4 dogs of my own but to keep it safe I don’t usually mix them with guest dogs in order to ensure both sides are always happy! Plenty of space to do so so it isn’t an issue at all. I also can cater towards your doggos feline, reptilian or small furry siblings if needs be! Looking forward to meeting your furry friends 🐶 ✌️

Matthew looked after my little dog very well. He is a caring and warm person and Sonny was happy and relaxed and instructions were followed. I would be happy to leave him with Matthew anytime.

Matthew was brilliant right from the start of our meet and greet! He understood my dogs needs and took them on board. I got daily up dates on how Zeus was getting on, which was very reassuring . I would highly recommend Matthew and Zeus will be back! Thank you so much Matthew.

Matthew did a great job minding Solas. Solas was having the time of her life there with the walks and great care she received. We will definately bring her there again. Matthew sent us photos and updates as well which was great for peace of mind.
